So it is safe to say Harvard students tend to be smarter than UPenn.
No, that is not safe to say. "Smartness" is not directly a criteria for getting into law school.
So why are you surprised Obama was in the top 10% but Black students that made it into UPenn couldn't make into the top 25%.
Her claim was that Black students are never in the top quarter of any of the top 10 law schools. That has been proven false multiple times. UPenn is probably in the top 10 law schools, but Harvard is definitely in the top 10 law schools. Both have had Black students in the top quarter of students, as I proved with Harvard.
If I can prove one, then that proves there were not none. Her counter argument is technically she said that she does not "remember" any such students. I see no point in debating what she does and does not remember, because that is in her mind.
No, Barack Obama did not receive a scholarship to attend Occidental College
There you would be provably wrong. Who gets full ride scholarships is often made public, and Obama definitely got a full ride academic scholarship. While not as big news as Michael Jordan going to UNC, it was news. Your argument is just silly.
Obama did so poorly that he did not transfer ANY of his grades to Columbia.
Obama transferred credits, which means he got a B or above. He transferred all his credits, which means he got nothing below a B. There is no way to transfer grades. If you could transfer grades, then you could go to a community college, where A's are easy to come by, and transfer to MIT and have them counted as A's at MIT. That would not be fair.
Had Obama been willing to redo a year of classes at Columbia, he could have gotten enough Columbia grades to be counted towards honors at graduation. He would have needed three years of grades at Columbia. Instead, he chose to use the credits he earned at Occidental. If he had repeated a year, we would debate whether he got good enough grades to transfer credits, or whether he wanted the honors. But, as established, that did not happen. Instead, we know Obama got B's or greater in everything at Occidental.
He had a rich benefactor that got him into Columbia BTW.
Given how everything else you said was false... Obama released 14 years of his taxes, so we know that he took out student loans to go to Columbia. There was no one paying Obama's way. It would be a difficult decision to transfer from Occidental where he could go for free to Columbia where he would have to take out loans that he was still paying back 20 years later.
trump definitely had a huge amount of money behind him, but Obama paid for college on his own.
No, Barack Obama did not receive a scholarship to attend Occidental College
Repeating a lie twice does not make it a truth.
BTW JD Vance graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2 years then went to Yale Law school on an academic scholarship. And Yale is the number one ranked Law School in the US. Harvard is the 4th.
Vance graduated from Yale Law School with no honors. It took Vance four years to get through Yale's three year program. He basically failed an entire year, though I assume it was spread out over four years; a few failed courses here, and a few failed courses there.
As for the ranking, there are dozens of different rankings, but Harvard Law School is always in the top 5. Yale is also always in the top 5. Back when Obama went to Harvard, it was always the top law school. There is more diversity in rankings today.
Right now, Harvard is number five in US News, and number one in QS World. Stanford, not Yale, is actually number one in US News. It is a shock in law school circles that a West Coast school is number one, but I really do not care as much.
Penn is in 6th place. Penn is usually in the upper 10, but not always in the upper 5 like Harvard.
